IMPORTANT OFFICE POLICY INFORMATION:
$35 (or $65.-) No-Show/Late-Cancel Fee
~ ALL clients are required to provide a credit/debt card number to "hold" their appointment,
(existing clients should have one on-file).
~ As per office policy, we require a 24-hour cancellation notice so that we may have the
opportunity to fill your appointment slot with another client.
(Preferably, if your appointment is on a Monday, we'd like to be
notified by Friday if you are unable to keep the appointment.)
For 30-min, 60-min & 90-min Appointments:
~ If 24-hour notice is not given, or should you no-show your scheduled appointment, your card
will be charged a $35 appointment fee as we were not given opportunity to fill that appointment slot.
For 2-Hour & Hot Stone Appointments:
~ If a client late-cancels/no-shows a 2-hour massage appointment, they will be assessed a
$65.- fee as they took 2 appointment spaces, effectively reducing our income by $150.-
Unlike Physicians, Chiropractors, P.T.s, O.T.s, etc, we schedule a *full hour* just for you.
If a client does not keep their appointment, or late-cancels, that is lost income.
We are paid *by appointment* not at an hourly rate.
~ Should you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, you
MUST CALL or TEXT our office at (716) 725-0264, minimally 24-hours in advance..
Please *do not* reply to the automated text reminders.
Our *courtesy reminder texts* are computer-generated and we do not receive returned
text messages to those reminders, and we indicate that to every person who schedules.
As the reminder texts are a courtesy, please note that by scheduling you are indicating
that you take responsibility to arrive to your appointment and /or reschedule as necessary.
~ No-show/late cancel GIFT CERTIFICATE appointments will be forfeited.
